Travis Pelkie has been trying to convey to others his enthusiasm for pop culture junk for years, as shown in this photo. He's trying to show his bemused grandparents here why the Hulk TV show was so cool to him at around age 3 or less (you do the math to figure out his age). He's written some columns about comics over at Comics Should Be Good in the past, and is now a co-founder of the Atomic Junk Shop. While comics are his main interest, he also enjoys a wide range of culture junk like MST3K, The Venture Bros., sci-fi and mystery novels, music that the kids used to call indie, NPR weekend shows, and entirely too many puzzles in the paper. He probably hasn't seen that movie you're talking about. While he remains as adorable as in this picture, he's now hairy enough to cosplay as Alan Moore. Luckily for you ladies, that means he's single. Also enjoys self-deprecating humor. Contact him at atomicjunkshoptravis@outlook.com or tpelkie@atomicjunkshop.com because he enjoys having long email addresses.
